‘Scandi noir': Swedish criminal gangs

I wrote about the crime in the Swedish immigrant communities way back in 2012. I predicted trouble, and trouble has come.
But only now are Swedish politicians admitting that immigrant crime gangs are a very serious problem. Violent crime is 700% higher (!) in Sweden than its neighbours. In a country that used to be famously peaceable, there are now daily shootings and bombings. Bombings! But it wasn’t discussed because… not the done thing, not PC. Instead Sweden boasted that it had the highest immigration intake in per capita terms. It’s boasting no longer. 
Sweden is going its own way in handling Covid, to pretty good outcome.  It's also been going its own way on mass immigration, to rather worse outcome.
Is it too late? They’ve started to control more, as per Denmark. But already they have "no-go" areas controlled by crime gangs. Not a good outlook.
